Here's a kick in the pants for you.

If you are in IT, and you have been recommending Microsoft server solutions
- you may just be putting yourself out of a job. 

How so?

Microsoft is now working on "Containerized" server farms. These would do
away with data centers. They would be mounted on trucks, parked in parking
lots, and be turn-key appliances requiring no human support 

This is not a joke.

It isn't real yet, but... if you are in IT, you may need to head for
trucking school, the next hot MS certification may just be a MCTD -
Microsoft Certified Truck Driver ;-)
